Chapter 95: Skeleton Soldiers Advance
If we simply and roughly divide the camps into light and darkness, then the existence of skeleton soldiers undoubtedly belongs to the dark camp.
Compared to the bright daylight, the pitch-dark night is obviously more suitable for them.
Of course, Zhou Xu didn’t know whether these skeleton soldiers had any buffs when they took action in the dark, but the combat environment was definitely advantageous for them.
Simply put, the limitations on vision that darkness imposes on humans like them do not exist at all for the skeleton soldiers. They are able to function normally in an environment where it is pitch dark.
At this moment, standing from the perspective of the opposite tribe, at the foot of the mountain shrouded in darkness, those pairs of green "eyes" are simply terrifying and creepy.
But for them, what was even more terrifying was the carrier that carried those pairs of eyes! The scene before them was completely beyond their imagination.
At one point they wondered if they were sleep deprived and were seeing hallucinations.
Until many tribe members could no longer bear the psychological pressure and began to scream in fear...
"Skeletons, they're skeletons! So many skeletons! They're moving, they're really moving!"
"Dream, I must be dreaming!"
“…”
Under the cover of night, a large number of skeletons with will-o'-the-wisp fire burning in their eye sockets lurked at the foot of the mountain. The impact they brought to them was much stronger than during the day.
It was a horrifying scene, which continued to undermine the will of the primitive people on the mountain.
During this period, Zhou Xu would not waste time with the other party.
As the order to attack was given, skeleton soldiers, armed with weapons, advanced directly towards the mountain.
Their main force erected large door panels and shields at the foot of the mountain, forming an iron wall shield formation!
This shield wall is to protect against possible stone bullets thrown by the slingers on the opposite side.
Although Zhou Xu had complained about the time traveler he met earlier, who used skeletons as the main force and wanted to play the C position, he set up an iron bucket formation and had no output at all, which was extremely stupid.
Although he does the same thing now, the strength of this skeleton is no longer the same as before.
Not to mention that they also have the blessing of 'Night'.
At a time when the enemy's vision is restricted by the night, from a comprehensive perspective, his skeleton soldiers can really be used as the main force! First use the skeleton soldiers to consume the enemy, as for their main force, for now, they will conserve their energy at the foot of the mountain, and if necessary, let Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce lead the team and kill them all at once to win the game.
On the contrary, if the battle can be easily resolved using only skeleton soldiers, that would be perfect.
Although he couldn't say too much, Zhou Xu didn't plan to return empty-handed from this expedition.
For this purpose, he directly transported fifty skeleton soldiers here, showing his determination to win! Now, all the troops are attacking in the dark!
The skeleton soldiers are not afraid of the darkness and death. They hold bone spears and advance steadily.
Faced with the continuously advancing skeleton soldiers, the primitive people on the opposite side held weapons in their hands, but no one dared to rush forward in a short period of time.
The steps under my feet could not stop moving backwards.
Zhou Xu was not surprised at this situation at all.
In the early hours of the morning, when it is pitch dark, a group of skeletons with green ghost lights in their eye sockets are approaching you with a "clacking sound". Even if it were a group of modern people who believe in science, they would probably be scared half to death.
Not to mention this group of primitive people who have no idea what science is and even believe in ghosts and gods deep in their hearts.
Some primitive people were so frightened that their legs were shaking.
The road on the mountain was not flat, and the trembling legs caused him to trip and fall to the ground accidentally, causing him to fall all over the place. The scene was in chaos.
If they continue in this trend, they might destroy themselves before the fight even starts.
"Calm down, they're just some skeletons. Haven't you seen them before? They move a few times, and you're so scared?!"
The voice that shouted this was extremely tense, and others could clearly hear the nervousness in the other person's words, as well as the suppressed panic.
He probably didn't believe what he said, right? Ordinary bones were obviously not comparable to moving skeletons, not to mention that those skeletons were so large.
But it is undeniable that his shout did have some effect.
Sensing the change in the surrounding atmosphere, the man seized the opportunity and quickly gave the order...
"Attack with the sling! Quickly!"
The primitive people who discovered Zhou Xu and his men's tracks in advance had already prepared to resist the attack. Among them, the slingshot, which was the winning weapon that enabled them to win battles in previous tribal conflicts, was undoubtedly their trump card.
During the previous preparation stage, baskets of stone bullets had been prepared, and everyone had a slingshot.
However, the appearance of the skeleton soldiers was completely beyond their imagination. It instantly disrupted their formation and made them all stunned.
It was not until that voice was rang out that the primitive people regained their backbone.
Yes! They also have slings! With a dull whistling sound, the slings quickly turned.
Li Ce was defeated by this slingshot in the beginning. Zhou Xu, who had known this information long ago, certainly could not be completely unprepared for it.
Although the skeleton soldiers are not afraid of death at all, once they are broken up, it will undoubtedly take more energy to pull them together again.
Considering this, Zhou Xu ordered the skeleton soldiers to disperse their formation early.
Under this premise, the opponent's offensive was panic-stricken, and the stone bombs thrown were scattered, unable to form a scale at all. It would undoubtedly be even more difficult to threaten the skeleton soldiers who had dispersed their formation.
The more panicked you are, the less likely you are to hit the target, and the more you fail to hit the target, the more panicked you become! This is a completely vicious cycle.
However, even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Zhou Xu also did not hold back in order to win. Instead of wasting more time and energy fighting the opponent, it is better to burst out with strength and defeat the opponent in one breath. This is the most labor-saving and safest way! [Skeleton Soldiers Strengthened!]
[Skeleton soldiers' speed is enhanced! ]
The number of people on the opposite side was at most thirty or so, while there were fifty skeleton soldiers.
And with the blessing of double mantra BUFF, mobility is significantly improved.
The sudden "Skeleton Soldier Charge" almost scared the opposing tribesmen out of their wits, and also completely broke down their psychological defenses.
Each of their faces revealed an expression of devastation that could not be concealed.
After rushing forward, after just one encounter, the opposing tribe, which had shown signs of decline from the very beginning, didn't even have time to resist and was completely defeated under the attack of the skeleton soldiers.
